Les terroirs viticoles ont une histoire

Abstract

L’historien repart d’une définition scientifique, rigoureuse et récente du terroir viticole. “Un terroir viticole est composé de plusieurs unités homogènes : éléments géologiques et pédologiques (texture, granulométrie, épaisseur, nature minéralogique, composants chimiques), géomorphologiques (altitude, pente, exposition), climatologiques (pluviométrie, température, insolation)”. Absent de cette définition, l’homme est heureusement réintroduit un peu plus loin. En associant la viticulture et la vinification, il forme un “couple” avec le terroir et ce couple. L’historien se propose de réexaminer les relations de ce tout au long de deux millénaires d’histoire. Il veut montrer que le choix de localisation des vignes, celui des cépages et celui des techniques de viticulture ne furent pas ou peu guidés, jusqu’à une période récente, par des qualités ou des virtualités objectivement reconnues à des terroirs précis. Des contraintes et des motivations extérieures au milieu physique ont été beaucoup plus déterminantes. Elles furent économiques, tout particulièrement commerciales, mais aussi politiques, juridiques, sociales, voire culturelles.

Enhancing vineyard resilience: evaluating sustainable practices in the Douro demarcated region

In mediterranean agriculture, sustainability and productivity are seriously threatened by climate change and water scarcity. This situation is exacerbated by poor management practices such as excessive use of agrochemicals, overgrazing, and monoculture. The Douro demarcated region (ddr) is an emblematic region, classified world heritage site by UNESCO in 2001. Viticulture is the main agricultural activity in DDR, widely known to produce port wine.

Factors influencing the production of the antioxidant hydroxytyrosol during alcoholic fermentation: Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen and Sugar content.

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is well known for its potent antioxidant activity and anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties. One possible explanation to its origin in wines is the synthesis from tyrosol, which in turn is produced from the Ehrlich pathway by yeasts. This work aims to explore the factors that could increase the final content as the initial concentration of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) and sugar. Two different concentrations of YAN were proved between 210mg/L and 300 mg/L. Additionally, two different concentrations of sugar were used: 100g/L and 240 g/L. Alcoholic fermentations in synthetic must were performed with the strain QA23.

A stratified sampling approach to investigate the impact of climate and maturity on the aroma and phenolic composition of grenache grapes and wines within the poctefa area

Context and purpose of the study. Climate change is affecting wine production and induces a large variability in wine composition between vintages.
